Membership Details

History

  • JEFA was founded in 2004 as a 501(c)7 “recreational club” for the purpose of providing Jeppesen Employees the opportunity to experience flight and see the value Jeppesen products bring to the flying experience.

  • Employees had a chance to learn to fly with great equipment at very competitive rates that could not be matched through commercial means.

  • Members would gather for summer family picnics, quarterly members meetings, and see each other in the halls at the office.

  • The association was made possible through the generous grants provided by CEO Mark VanTine and Jeppesen.

  • Seed financing was provided for our aircraft and periodic funding was provided to upgrade the avionics and software. Jeppesen would also pay for the Young Eagles and Craig flights. This would amount to $32,000 - $40,000 per year.

  • In 2018, Boeing absorbed Jeppesen into the new Digital Aviation organization and stopped the funding that was so important to the JEFA business model. Since that time, JEFA has been working to cut costs and stabilize the cash flow, pricing model, and membership composition to ensure the association’s viability and success. This entire time, JEFA has not changed its mission.

Mission Statement

  • JEFA is formed exclusively for pleasure, recreation, and other non-profit purposes specifically to foster, promote, engage in, and conduct all phases of flying and flying-related activities in a manner to promote personal contacts and fellowship among its members including the providing of education about flying.

Association vs Club

  • We are an Association, not a club.

  • The association owns all assets outright.

  • At JEFA, every member is expected to treat our aircraft as if they were their own. We hold members to a higher standard than a typical club to ensure safety, reliability, and respect for our equipment and fellow aviators.

Aircraft

  • JEFA owns all assets outright, including two IFR equipped and Cessna aircraft.

  • Each are based at Centennial Airport (KAPA) south of Denver.

  • Both are covered year round.
